You won't be teaching the guy anything. If he has been coding more than a couple years and isn't sick of making the same mistakes over and over there is no hope for this person.

Making a family movie that would have been enjoyed across age groups would have been a challenge, what Peter Jackson did was not. He just applied the 'Jackson Formula' to the Hobbit. He's not a film maker any more he's an accountant.

"ambient particulate matter pollution" could mean smoke from a wood stove in someone's shack or from a crude coal power plant. I don't see anything in the summary about autos.
